 >>how can a finished tuning that has a number of strings on which no
attempt has been
made to settle and stabilize them be a decent and solid tuning?

Those strings have dropped (or risen) to the correct pitch by mere chance.
On the first pass skill and experience (and/or ETD computations) put you in
the ball park. Some of those strings just happen to end up spot on... mad
isn't it?!!
